Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 2000060, member: 289"] NCAA D3 SEMI-FINALS Both semi-finals were low-scoring games, proving that there’s a still a role for defense in college football. John Carroll had beaten both Mount Union, (during the regular season) and Wisconsin-Whitewater (in the playoffs), an incredible double achievement but they couldn’t beat Whitewater’s conference rival, WISCONSIN-OSHKOSH, falling short by a score of 3-10. The game was scoreless at halftime. One touchdown drive on the first possession of the second half put the Titans in the lead. Three Blue Streak turnovers were key: [URL="http://www.d3football.com/playoffs/2016/uw-oshkosh-john-carroll-semifinal"]Titans advance in defensive battle[/URL] MARY-HARDIN BAYLOR defeated Mount Union 14-12 in a comparative scoring fest. Their win ensured that for the first time since 2004, someone other than Mount Union or Whitewater will win the DIII championship – because for the first time since then, neither team will be in the final. It’s a return to what the D3 final used to be- a chance to see someone different each year as those scores in the Sunday paper came alive. MH-B was in the last such game, losing to Linfield. Whoever wins this final will win their first ever national championship. Ajay Fanene intercepted a screen pass with 2:32 left to snuff out the last chance for the Purple Raiders.
